The effects of seeing on Sérsic profiles - II. The Moffat PSF
The effects of seeing on Sérsic r1/n profile parameters are extensively studied using a Moffat function. This analytical approximation to the point spread...
Underground seeing: characterization of geological hazard at the astronomical observatories of the Canaries, Chile and Hawaii
An analysis of the impact of seismic and volcanic activity was carried out at selected astronomical sites, namely the observatories of El Teide (Tenerife...
Using artificial sky glow to retrieve night time aerosol optical depth
Measuring the Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) is of particular importance in monitoring aerosol contributions to global radiative forcing and air quality. Most...
Weather Research and Forecasting prevision model as a tool to search for the best sites for astronomy: application to La Palma, Canary Islands
We present a study of the spatial variation of forecast conditions at La Palma, Canary Islands. Previsions are obtained with the Weather Research and...
In this summary, a brief review is given of the main results presented during the workshop on astronomical site evaluation of San Pedro Mártir in Northern Baja...
